I found some late season blood oranges and made this delicious margarita. We greatly enjoyed it. I coated half the rim of the glass with Tajin, which nicely offsets the other flavors in this drink.

An awesome riff. I love the addition of Campari here — it lends a great bittersweet punchiness and melds perfectly with the blood orange.

For my taste, this drink benefits from a tiny bit more simple syrup OR a slow drinking pace so the ice in the glass lends further dilution. I never seem to manage the later, so I go for the former ;)

Helpful hint for my fellow measurement sticklers: 1/6 oz is 1 tsp.

Thanks Paloma. If you are using 1:1 simple syrup you'll need to use one-third more to equal are rich 2:1 sugar syrup. Useful tip on teaspoon -worth my adding that you can see notes on measures and conversions by clicking "measures and measuring" under every recipe.

This has a wonderful colour, and great margarita taste. Had it with Mexican food and it went perfectly. Would strongly urge people to try during the blood orange season.

One of my favourite Margarita recipes - just made one with Cointreau Blood Orange instead of the regular variety. Blood oranges are still in season so I chucked in a couple of fresh chunky quarter wheels to garnish.

This was delicious, in no small part due to the flavourful blood oranges. I made two small changes: jalapeño-infused simple (rich) syrup, and a (kosher) salt & sugar rimmer.
